Description

18" Talavera Pottery Rooster Plate – Hand Painted – Wall Hanging

Large hand-painted Talavera-style pottery plate from Mexico, featuring a bold rooster motif at the center surrounded by ornate foliate and scrollwork decoration. The design is executed in a classic palette of cobalt blue, golden yellow, green, and terracotta, with strong contrast and crisp hand-applied detailing throughout. The layered border patterns and central medallion reflect traditional Mexican folk art influences inspired by historic Talavera designs.

The plate is crafted from glazed earthenware and finished with a glossy glaze. The reverse is marked “Lead Free Mexico,” indicating production intended for export and compliance with modern safety standards. Exposed terracotta rings are visible on the back, and the plate retains a metal wire hanger, confirming it was made for wall display rather than table use.

A striking decorative accent well suited for kitchen, dining, or rustic interiors, this piece offers strong visual impact and traditional craftsmanship at an impressive scale.


Condition:

In good condition overall, with no chips, cracks, or repairs observed. The glaze remains glossy and vibrant, with minor surface variations consistent with hand-painted pottery.


Dimensions:

Diameter: 18 inches
Wire wall hanger attached on reverse for display.
